Connecticut consumers seeking to return to RadioShack merchandise purchased prior to the bankruptcy filing should also do so as soon as possible since the company will accept returns until March 7, officials said.

RadioShack also intends to accept gift cards only during the first 30 days after its bankruptcy filing, they said. Consumers must use them before the March 7 deadline in order to avoid losing their value.

All goods sold during the store closing sales are sold as-is, although consumers have seven days to return goods with latent defects to the point of purchase, authorities said.
